Hi, just to clarify, this issue isn't specific to Zotero. It also occurs with BibTeX files whenever standard three-letter month abbreviations (e.g., month = {Jan}) or full month names (e.g., month = {January}) are used.
While using numbers (e.g., month = {1}) allows sorting to work, displaying entries as "1 2023" isn't ideal compared to "Jan 2023" or "January 2023".

I noticed a previous request (https://bibbase.userecho.com/communities/1/topics/279-display-month-as-word-even-if-parsed-as-number) to convert numbers into words on display was declined. Because of that, could you please consider adding support for sorting directly when month abbreviations or full month names are provided in the BibTeX file?
Thank you!
